The material makes the mecha difficult to detect at long range with conventional radar and MAD sensors. Opposing units trying to detect a mecha with carbon composite superstructure take a -5 penalty on their computer use checks if they are using Class I or II sensor suites.

The uplink allows a unit to send and receive data across the globe through the military satellite network. It can also download data from reconnaissance assets for use in the field.Equipment Slots: None, requires Comm System installed.Activation: Move actionRange: personalTarget: YouDuration: persistentSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 20Anti-Missile System (PL5)The anti missile system is a small caliber chain gun linked with a search radar designed to detect and neutralize incoming missiles.

When enemy infantry approach, the sensors detect the enemy soldier and choses the appropriate number of mines and direction, then detonates them. The system does 2d6 slashing damage to anyone within 15 feet of the mecha.Equipment Slots: 2, must be Legs/Boots/BeltActivation: free actionRange: personalTarget: youDuration: 1 roundSaving Throw: nonePurchase DC: 20Restriction: Military (+3)</blockquote>
